Title: Viewing photos on laptop Windows 10
Post by: wilcoxon on Monday 12 January 26 20:38 GMT (UK)

I have edited / cropped images  and saved them as jpg to folders that I am working on
When I go to view them I get the image in what seems to be another editing programme.
I can't find a Photo viewer on the laptop which I was given  as used.
On my desktop I have Microsoft Office Viewer but not on the laptop.
Hope this makes sense and that someone can help. Thanks

What options are offered if you right click a .jpg file and choose "Open with"?

Try Photos. It's what I generally use if I want to view rather than edit.

Thanks,
 I guess I'm getting used to viewing photos on my tablet where there is nothing else , only the image , that I'm expecting the same on windows.

Adobe Express is free and it would get you into the Adobe world.

Irfanview is another free app.

If you want to get serious into image editing then Gymp is free.

The diagonal arrows at bottom right give you fullscreen view, if that helps at all.
